Money won't fix problems; but less money is not the answer

Money alone will not solve the problems of the Mansfield City Schools, but readers can be sure failure of the levy will only make things worse. Without passage of the levy, our children will be condemned to an inadequate education while at the same time they are being asked, not required, to enter the job market with more skills than any previous generation ever had to have.

Failure of the levy sends a powerful message to our children that their education and future are not that important to us, the people, of the district. It sends a message to any employer looking to move his or her business to Mansfield that Mansfield cannot provide the educated workforce it will need.

Perhaps you can think of "good" reasons not to vote for the levy, but let me suggest to you that the welfare, the well-being and the future of our children trumps them all. If you have a complaint against the schools, take it to your child's school or the school board. Don't punish the children because you are unhappy with the schools.

Vote yes for our children and their future by voting yes for the levy.
